Squash Set For Early Release

Dancehall star Squash is one step closer to freedom.

The Jamaican entertainer, whose real name is Andrae Whittaker, is now expected to be released from federal custody a month earlier than originally scheduled, according to records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The “Big Breeze” deejay is provisionally slated to leave the Federal Detention Center in Miami on December 26, 2026, after his projected release date was moved up from January 25, 2027.

The revised date reflects federal time credits available to inmates who qualify through good behavior and participation in approved programs. While the development has sparked excitement among fans, Squash’s time in the United States after his release could be brief. The dancehall artist is expected to face deportation proceedings, paving the way for a likely return to Jamaica.

News of the earlier release quickly spread across social media, where reactions ranged from curiosity to celebration.

One user cheekily responded, “Deportation?” while many of the entertainer’s loyal supporters focused on the positive news.

“Breeze out early!” one fan wrote.

“Top shottas is back,” another posted.

A third supporter declared: “6 forever and ever, dawgs up.”

The outpouring of support highlights the strong following Squash has maintained despite his incarceration.

Before his legal troubles, the Montego Bay-born artist established himself as one of dancehall’s most influential figures, generating millions of streams with street anthems including “Big Breeze,” “Know Bout That,” and “Rate Who Rate You.”

Yet behind the hard-edged image portrayed in much of his music, Squash has long insisted that public perception does not reflect his true personality.

In a 2022 interview, the artist spoke candidly about the pressures that led him to leave Jamaica, citing corruption within his circle and frustration with the system.

“You see me now, me is not a violent man,” he said at the time. “People out there might see 6ixx Boss and have me as violent, but I am a jovial person. Me loving and kind, fun, mi like happiness, me nuh like sadness.”

The artist, who has amassed more than 260,000 Spotify followers, built a substantial catalog before his imprisonment, including projects such as F.A.M.E. (Faith Always Move Everything) and Hate Being Famous.

With his release date now drawing nearer, anticipation is already building among fans eager to see whether the 6ixx Boss will reclaim his place in dancehall upon his return to Jamaica.
